Town have turned down an attempt by Birmingham City to take Hermann Hreidarsson on loan. TWTD has been reporting Steve Bruce's interest in the Icelander since late November.
Yesterday the Blues accepted a fee of £1.5 million including bonuses for Jamie Clapham, a move the versatile 27-year-old is thinking over.
Despite Town's need to reduce the wage bill the move for Hreidarsson, who turned down a switch to West Brom in the summer, was rejected by Joe Royle.
Steve Bruce has had a representative at innumerable Town games over the last few months, including the away leg of the UEFA Cup tie with Slovan Liberec.
